Films:
Treize Vies - I have to say I was on the edge of my seat for most of this film. Another film I didn't know anything about when I started watching, the fact that it actually happened was just mind-blowing.
Parasite - I didn't know anything about this film or its popularity before viewing it. I guess I agree with the critics: it was good.
Aux Yeux De Tous
Room - I did not know anything about this film when I started watching it, and I sat wondering what was going on as the opening scene unfolded. The kind of film that stays with you for a long time. So many emotions ran through my body. I love those kinds of film, very well done.
Nocturnal Animals - Absolutely brilliant, one of my favourite films of this year. Loved the ending. Very dark.
American Animals - Yet another ´based on true events´ film on this list. I enjoyed the way it was shot, and how they included the real guys into the film. Although perhaps a little pretentious in a way.
Un Petit Boulot - This film was a nice little surprise, I really enjoyed it.
Series:
Now that I have cancelled both Netflix and Amazon, my life is so much more fulfilling hahaha I was going to write I do not watch so many TV shows (which is true) but the latter just came to my mind so that is what I wrote. And it is also true. Those platforms are just designed to suck the attention and energy out of us. I'm glad I dont have any of them any more. Having said that, it's cool to see some seriously well-made TV shows from time to time. I just can't binge watch shows on a regular basis anymore.
A Handmaid´s Tale - That was the last TV series I binge watched after getting rid of Amazon prime. I absolutely loved it – that goes without saying, I wouldnt binge watched something I didn't like. I love the cinematography and the soundtrack. I must read the book now.
Dahmer - I definitely did not binge watched that series, but it was really well done. Obviously very dark. I know a lot about the guy because I am one those people who finds serial killers as fascinating as they are scary. I only got to see it because I happened to be staying with a friend of mine who has Netflix.
Squid Game - I won't lie: I very much enjoyed that show. The premise is fascinating. Anything that makes me ask myself what I would do in that situation is always interesing to me. It reminded me of Battle Royale (Very dark but very good film)
Documentaries:
Just too many to list here. That's pretty much all I watch these days. One that really stuck with me this year:
The Yin And Yang of Gerry Lopez
